Giving

Why give? Lipscomb University was founded almost 125 years ago because two individuals understood that without a generous, faithful heart, great things are not accomplished. Today, generosity is just as important to the university. Students typically can cover only about 75 percent of the cost of their education despite our best efforts to keep the cost of higher education here competitive. It is donor generosity that delivers hundreds of faithful, successful graduates a year to their finish line and a new beginning.

Lipscomb:Next

In preparation for Lipscomb’s 125th anniversary in 2016, we’re taking the Bison by the horns (if you will). We have big plans for the future of this university—to grow and strengthen the education we provide, communities we serve, and faith we practice. And all the while, we will remain intentionally, courageously, and graciously committed to God’s will.

See Our Progress

We’re constantly evaluating the state of higher education—and measuring ourselves against it—to ensure we’re preparing students for the 21st-century world. We’re adding new programs, offering more international scholarships, and investing in research facilities so that our graduates have the best tools to make the biggest impact in God’s service.

Give a Gift

Philanthropy is a natural extension of our values. It builds community, encourages the extension of knowledge, and hastens the pursuit of innovation. Philanthropy, at its heart, is a way to live our Christian faith by example. Because the best way to celebrate God’s gifts is by sharing them.
